A few facts about Kallichore!
She stands 5'8" tall.
She is much more comfortable in senshi form than in civilian.
She spends way too much time reading just about anything she can get her hands on, but prefers philosophy, historical diaries and esoteric subjects. Practically lives in the library.
Has never had a boyfriend. Had a crush... once.

[The Civilian]
Name: Christabelle Calloway
Nickname: Christa, CeeCee (only used by her brother)
Age:17 18 19 20 21 22 23
Birthday: June 9th
Sign: Gemini
Gemstone: Pearl/Alexandrite
Blood Type: Type AB
Fav. Food: A big fan of Mediterranean food, Christa adores a good kebab with a side of tabbouleh. Yum! Most foods that are savory and flavorful are favorites.
Hated Food: Peas, green beans, carrots and other vegetables that turn to mush when over-cooked.
School:Meadowview High School Destiny City University (graduated!)
Hobbies:
Writing - Christa spends quite a bit of her time in her head when she has free time. With an active imagination to keep her entertained, she often writes a great deal. Usually, this consists of original works of fiction, information on a dream she had the night before or personal thoughts and reflections. Her room is filled with spiral notebooks full of her writings, and she goes through them periodically for inspiration on new stories. Her favorite genre for writing is horror. She loves the idea that simple descriptions can leave lasting impressions on a reader's mind, be they frightening or otherwise. She is fascinated with horror and its effect on people, and strives to write a bestseller someday. She adores the Creative Writing Club at school and is frequently at meetings. She likes to send her manuscripts to her small group of friends to see if they have any suggestions or to ask how they feel after reading it. Successful stories, to her, leave that lasting impression. She doesn't handle criticism too well.
Reading Horror Novels- She's not necessarily a huge fan of television, so Christa likes to spend an evening curled up with a good book. Like above, her favorite reading material consists of a good scary story, though she will occasionally delve into other areas like romance or science fiction. She's particularly interested in books that stay with the reader - something with such a vivid description that it takes up permanent residence in one's mind. When a bookshelf isn't full of spiral notebooks, it's full of Christa's latest acquisitions from the bookstore. Sometimes she'll be so engrossed in a book that she'll forget to eat or sleep (such is the curse of good literature!). She loves most anything horror-related: Lovecraft, King, Koontz, Doyle and many others and delves into several genres that horror might encompass (crime, fantasy, paranormal, etc). She has founded the Arkham Horror Society at school, a club dedicated to all things horror.
Collecting - Some of Christa's favorite places, when not counting her room, include bookstores, stationary stores, libraries and stores specializing in collectibles. She frequents these places on her way home from school several times each week. She is able to afford these collections through odd jobs for her aunt and uncle, selling her fabric pieces or savings from summer jobs. She has several collections taking up residence in her room, including all things Cthulhu, various kinds of stationary (with matching pens, pencils and erasers!), calendars, embroideries and accessories, thread and several epic fantasy novel series. Her stationary is divided up into "not very pretty, so this is usable for any occasion" and "these are so beautiful that writing upon them would be a sin". Especially elaborate designs, floral patterning or something particularly eye catching are kept pristine and unused to preserve them. Other more plain designs are dedicated for actual use. Stationary to her is like fine art and must be appreciated as such. She keeps these collections in their own place, neat and tidy, in her room. If she happens to pass by a store selling something she could use for her collection, she will be hop on it like it's the last one on Earth. If something is missing from her collection, beware! Christa can and will gut the house/school/locker/whatever to find the missing piece.
Virtues:
"That can wait. This needs to be done!" - Focused - Her mother was a workaholic and praised her children when focus was maintained. It was said that a good work ethic leads to being a good person, and Christa took this advice from her mother to heart. Christa is very good at keeping her focus on the task at hand. As a result, she's gotten good grades in school and tries to finish her work well before it is due (to free up time for reading!). She is able to minimize distractions by tuning everything out and completing what needs to be done before going on to doing something else. While this process may seem slow, she likes being able to mark things off of her 'to-do' list and doesn't like to leave things in an unfinished state unless she has to. As a senshi, this means she will not leave a task unfinished - whether it be escorting civilians, getting rid of a threat or assisting another senshi. If it needs to be done, she will finish the job to the best of her ability. Of course, this is a double-edged sword. She can easily lose track of the big picture or become too focused on a goal and forget all the others as a consequence. Christa isn't able to prioritize well, and would much prefer to finish one task before taking on another.
"I'll be down there right away." - Dedicated - Since her parents' recent divorce, Christa feels good, true friends are few and far between. One must take time, effort and evaluate all possible angles before making such an important decision. Christa is very selective in who she befriends and believes in quality over quantity. She is very careful to find someone that will not often hurt her (as she understands people make mistakes - to a point). Those who she chooses to care for find a very devoted friend in her. She devotes her time and energy into these few people and considers them a gift. She will drop everything in order to help these few people, as they mean the world to her. Her circle of friends is small, but very tight. In senshi form, this means she will not abandon a friend in need for any reason if possible. Even if she cannot use her powers, she will at least provide moral support or assist by distracting the enemy, save civilians or call other senshi to the battle.
"Always keep vigilant." - Problem-Solver - Christa is always thinking, planning and scheming an alternative solution to problems she faces from a very strategic perspective. From an early age, Christa has demonstrated that she enjoys logic puzzles, mind benders or unusual situations where she can exercise her mind. In her elementary years, she would ask for books full of puzzles and other activities over traditional toys for Christmas or birthdays, and she sometimes picks up a few while at the bookstore. She takes pride in finding odd or unusual solutions to problems. In battle or on patrol, she is always alert for alternative ways to deal with problems and how to use the environment to her advantage. She may find a mirror to reflect an enemy's attack, or find loose scaffolding that can be brought down upon an attacker. She's also always thinking of solutions in social situations as well. While she may come across as too cold or calculating, it's simply her way of solving problems. It'd probably come as a slight shock if someone outright tells her she's being too logical and she probably will soften somewhat with time.
Flaws:
"...just don't tell anyone." - Entirely Too Serious - Christabelle is someone you don't see smile genuinely very often, nor does she do spontaneous things just because it's fun. She has a tendency to take things very seriously whether it's schoolwork, a job, internships, chores, senshi business or even going out with friends. Her demeanor comes off as cold and perhaps even harsh even when she tries not to. Her attempts to lighten up are usually awkward and met with jovial laughter. Trying to have fun without any expectations nets Christa embarrassment, more often than not. For example, after being made fun of for being the Stone Maiden of the Jovian Court by Babylon, Kallichore attempted to dance to prove him wrong. Everything ended up in a dogpile of limbs and Kallichore made the knight swear never to tell a soul.
Detached/Aloof - Spending so much time on her moon and undergoing transcendence, Christa has a much more detached view of the world. She would rather have Chaos come to her and be willing to receive wisdom than be an active participant in the war of propaganda. She will not shout the virtues of Order from the rooftops and will not rally citizens under the Senshi banner. To her, these more aggressive approaches end in failure and can drive people to fear at best, and deeper into the throes of Chaos at worst. In times of battle, she will defend herself and others, but she will not throw the first punch. She will not opt to seriously injure or kill a member of Chaos if it can be helped. Her actions (or rather, inaction) can be seen as passivity, cowardice or even tolerance when it comes to Chaos, with her opting not to forcibly engage more often than not. She chooses instead to dispense what she’s learned and let others make their own decisions. In civilian life, family drama, deaths and other serious issues don’t seem to phase her as much as they should. They don’t garner the emotional reaction these events would typically draw from a regular person. This can lead people to think Christa simply isn’t listening, is withdrawn or just doesn’t care.
"I should have tried harder." - Self-critical - If anything, Christa harbors a great deal of self-doubt. Even if it seems like she's semi-confident in what she's doing, that aching doubt still claws at the back of her mind. She'll replay situations in her mind over and over and devise a million different alternate solutions and wonders why she picked the route she did. Was it the right thing to do? She could have done this... In instances of extreme distress, this self-doubt could cause her pause in making an important decision, stay an attack or she could put herself in danger. Her schoolwork is good, but not perfect and she always wonders if she could have done X, Y or Z and improved the results. Every step through her day, her mind comes up with so many possibilities and sometimes it's very difficult to live with her choices. She also constantly wonders if getting some space from her father was the right decision since the divorce wasn't his fault.

[The Senshi]
"Soldier of the Mind and Madness, I am Sailor Kallichore!"
Kallichore afflicts the target with auditory hallucinations. If they are voices, they are distracting, disturbing and are very real for the target experiencing them. Some examples include: loud screaming from people the target knows, derogatory whispers or an overall din of multiple conversations taking place simultaneously. Other auditory hallucinations could include: gunfire, a monstrous roar, rushing water or air horns.
• Kallichore can hit allies with this attack.
• The effects last roughly 30 seconds and can be used twice per battle/day.
• The projectile has a short distance (maybe 15-20 feet) and looks like heat waves through the air.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Surge of the Maddened!
Kallichore afflicts the target with both auditory and visual hallucinations. These hallucinations are very real to the target experiencing them. The visual component of the attack can be interacted with, and the target can perceive the hallucination to be interacting with them as well. Some examples include: an elephant stepping on you (with perceived intense pain), a tiny circus that seems incredibly fascinating and much louder than its size would allow, the floor turning to spiders, or your closest friends’ severed heads floating in midair in a ring around you. (All of these examples were created by other players). Some residual effects may be felt to a lesser degree after the 30 seconds are up.
• Kallichore can hit allies with this attack.
• The effects last roughly 30 seconds and can be used twice per battle/day.
• The projectile has a longer distance (maybe 25-30 feet) and looks like heat waves through the air.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Glorious Crimson Mania!
Kallichore afflicts the target(s) with three types of hallucinations simultaneously - auditory, visual and tactile. All hallucinatory components of this attack are very real to the sufferer(s). Tactile hallucination examples include: the sensation of bugs crawling under or on top of the skin (which can trigger an intense scratching reflex), holes opening up in the body or face with accompanying sensations, an intense burning or freezing sensation, or the visual and tactile hallucinations combined to have the target perceive that they are missing one or more limbs. Some residual effects may be felt to a lesser degree after the 30 seconds are up.
• Kallichore can hit allies with this attack.
• The effects last roughly 30 seconds and can be used once per battle/day.
• The attack is a pulse, centered around Kallichore, radiating 10 feet from her in all directions. It can hit multiple people if they are within the 10 foot radius.
Personal Item
Personal Item: Bottle filled with sparkling silver water
When imbibed, the liquid acts as a balm to the mind, soothing mild to moderate mental anguish by bringing the drinker feelings of calm, hope and happiness for a limited amount of time.
Transcendence
Energy-Giving
A Transcended Senshi may choose to follow a less combative path. Rather than using their energy to boost the magic power they use in battle, these Senshi are able to transfer their excess energy to civilian victims and wounded allies. They must maintain physical contact in order to make the transfer, and as it requires intense concentration it would be impossible to accomplish in battle. The transfer would help with mild-to-moderate energy loss but would not offer a sense of full recovery in either case. It would simply decrease recovery time by half.

[Relationships]
_________________________________xFamily
Stephanie Calloway -Mother -- Absentee at best.
Benjamin Calloway -Father -- A strong and gentle presence to his children, Benjamin works in a biological tech lab during the day and helps his son into adulthood at night. His life and divorce have slowed him down and the weariness shows on his face, but he tries hard to keep going.
Zachary Calloway -Brother -- Sailor Themisto! Kallichore found out about her brother's powered identity recently, and completely by accident. She came to find that he'd had powers for years, but ran from them out of fear. Christa couldn't blame him.
Melinda Reese/Sailor Serpentarius -Cousin -- One of Christa's childhood friends, the Reese family are related on Stephanie's side. The quartet of Christa, Bradley, Zachary and Melinda would often play at Aunt Liz's house, chasing cats and having pie for lunch. Mel was always a fun child, but had a tendency to shut down as a coping mechanism. They all pinky swore to be there for one another shoulder something happen. Bradley's recent death has brought the girls back together after a hiatus of sorts. Melinda goes to the prestigious Crystal Academy.
_________________________________xOrder/Civilians
Anthony Darrow/Camelot - Librarian and civilian who knows more than he lets on. Tony was kind enough to help bandage a wound Kallichore sustained from an ambush from her spear-wielding friend, proving he was on the side of the senshi. It turns out Mr. Darrow is Camelot, Knight of Earth, and an incredibly powerful and steady ally.
Liliana Jacobs/Eternal Sailor Maia - Someone Chistabelle met when out shopping, Lily is a Meadowview graduate. They both love stationary and discussed their plans for the future outside of the bookstore.
Ridley Pendergast - A rambunctious, opinionated and bright-eyed Knightside student Christa met in the park one day. Ridley was out with her brother playing soccer, and they talked about things like books, sports and growing up. Ridley doesn't seem to show any fear and has more curiosity than she knows what to do with. She's rough-and-tumble and doesn't seem to be afraid of anything.
Alexandre - A bookworm, not unlike herself, with sophisticated tastes in literature and an emphasis on humanity. They share quite a few things in common, meeting at a bookstore of all places. Together, they want to make a book club and like to meet and chat over coffee. The human spirit and whether or not it is deteriorating over time seems to be a favorite topic for the two of them.
Christopher Gallo/Valhalla - A handsome young man Christa met while working at the library. After a youma attack, they powered up in front of each other and she was very happy to find a knight in his place, not a Nega. As Valhalla, Christopher is a strong and steady protector and husband to Princess Ganymede.
Sailor Albali and Derpraline - These two helped awaken Kallichore to the world of the senshi. Albali is the senshi of echos, her power being the ability to recreate the senshi power of anything thrown at her. Albali calls it a 'massive cosmic joke'. Also a member of the Blood Moon Court, Albali introduced the faction to Kallichore the same night. Derpraline is a derpy kitten, for lack of a better description. Full of heart and energy, the kitten was the one to grant Kallichore her powers and her henshin pen.
Eternal Sailor Europa - Instigator of the Jovian Court, Europa brought a rag tag team together just after Ares' corruption. They all poured their hearts into the team and shared as much information as they had access to. Kallichore hasn't seen Europa in a very long time.
Princess Ganymede - These two used to butt heads over most everything, especially during their first few meetings. Kallichore was far too intense for Ganymede's liking, the two of them having vastly different moral compasses. If they could meet again someday, what would Ganymede think? While the Jovians may no longer be a cohesive group, Kallichore learned from Venice that Ganymede ascended to Princess status. If she could, Kallichore would let Ganymede know how proud she was.
Eternal Sailor Pasiphae - Another Jovian, this one having influence over Shame. Pasiphae is admired for her classy looks and demure attitude. Kallichore did her best to share as much information with Pasiphae as possible during their meetings. Each taking their place within the group, the senshi of madness considers her a trusted friend despite not knowing Pasiphae too deeply. Kallichore has a hard time admitting her admiration for others. If she could, she would tell Pasiphae how envious she was of the other's lovely fuku, among other things.
Super Sailor Birhan Isat - Once-fellow-member of the Blood Moon, Kallichore could tell Birhan was doing everything she could to keep her Court together and working smoothly. Kallichore accompanied Birhan into battle against Veritas and barely escaped with her life after the ambush. With Ares' return and corruption, all Kallichore can do is hope that Birhan did not give in and escaped with her life and soul intact.
Eternal Sailor Chaonis - Brutish, smug and has wings made of plastic. Chaonis once saved Kallichore's life when she was still Super and the two of them took out a youma on the top of one of Destiny City's towers. Chaonis' attack is dangerous to both the soldiers and the youma, making the two of them an interesting team. They butted heads over some things, but Kallichore walked away from the experience with a smile on her face. He's a bit full of himself, but he means well, and she can appreciate that. Plus he's not afraid to kick a little a**.
Babylon - Knight of Mercury and was part of the Jovians. He teased Kallichore for being the stony maiden of the Jovian Court and challenged her to dance. It ended badly. Kallichore swore him to silence.
Eternal Sailor Tsui - Extremely powerful ally, Kallichore has a great deal of respect for Tsui. The tiger senshi has a great deal of potential to be an incredible fighting force, but they have not seen each other in a very long time.
Princess Polaris - Regal Princess of Magnetism, Polaris answered a lot of questions Kallichore had about royalty. The universe seems to select them when the time was right, which, considering her own recent transcendence, makes perfect sense.
Eternal Sailor Scylla - Former ally and superior in the Blood Moon Court from years and years ago. Powerful but lonely. Capable. A seeker without a question. They met again after so many years post-Ares and come to find, Scylla is less perfection than cadet-Kallichore had thought. Scylla was much more human than Kallichore's naive mental image led her to believe. One day, perhaps she can help Scylla find her answer.
Venice - A Page of Ganymede, Venice was kind enough to explain what had happened in Kallichore's absence. The Page also explained that his existence was owed to Ganymede reaching royal status.
Ann - A mama-bear-type civilian who patrols her neighborhood now that youma are being pushed into it to hunt. Kallichore met Ann during a patrol while chasing a youma into said neighborhood. Ann carries snacks, medicine and a baseball bat to chase off the youma who wouldn't cause much harm to a civilian. She believes her son is a Senshi, or at the very least, involved in the war somehow.
Super Sailor Nephthys/Genevieve - A super senshi who is lonely by her own admission. She lives in a mansion with her upper class parents and she allowed Christa to move in. Christa, in return, promised to train and look after Nephthys, and assist her in discovering what her homeworld is all about.
_________________________________xChaos
Ares - Once an idol, now a demon. Kallichore looked up to Ares for a number of reasons - education, fighting prowess, sheer willpower and determination. Ares was the driving force behind the young senshi's indoctrination into the Blood Moon. Kallichore strove to make Ares proud, doing everything she could in order to move up in the ranks. It was all for naught when, after a long and hard mission against Veritas, Ares appeared and fell to Chaos, dragging all those helpless souls with her. Now, Kallichore considers Ares enemy number one, and has plans to try and stop her onslaught for good.
Alunite - Enemy number two, if we're ranking things. These two tend to meet under dubious circumstances at best. Kallichore takes particular delight in tormenting the corrupted senshi. She considers them on par with those who willingly join Ares - weak and uneducated, throwing themselves into Chaos without so much as a second thought. Constant rivals on the battlefield. If Ares isn't present, Alunite is her immediate target. His attack turned her own on her, and now she wants revenge.
Benitoite - A long-tentured General with an unknown, paralyzing fear. They have not crossed paths in a very long time, but they share a similar modus operandi - talk first, attack only as a last resort. Kallichore can respect that.
General Zinkenite - The first Negaverse officer to make himself known to Kallichore. His crystals emit tear gas when threatened, and she was gassed fairly well during their meeting. He's likely an intelligence officer since he did not opt to attack and kill Kallichore on sight. Instead, they exchanged words, giving the newbie senshi some insight on the Negaverse's stance on what happened with the Blood Moon Court. Kallichore considers it her good luck to have escaped with her starseed intact. He led Veritas.
Captain Scheelite - A worn-out Nega Captain who was more interested in talking than in fighting (not that Kallichore minded after her run-in with Zinkenite). He explained that his connection to the Negaverse was more like being in a family than an evil organization, and it got Kallichore wondering - obviously everyone is fighting for what they believe in, but why can't they see what they are doing is wrong? Scheelite was part of the raid on the Blood Moon Court, but Kallichore doesn't know much more beyond that.
Corrupted Alkaid and General Serandite - These two tried to kill Ares and Kallichore while they were destroying a youma. In a stroke of luck, Kallichore was able to stop Alkaid's advance with her basic senshi attack. She's yet to see either of these two since the battle that night. Kallichore feels she was lucky to be alive after meeting them.
Dark Mirror Eternal Sailor Acubens - They met once while Acubens was a White Moon Senshi. Somewhere along the way, she was baptized in the mirror and became something else. They met again when a creature attacked a park, causing many Dark Mirrors to converge on the spot.
Dark Mirror Prince Remarque - Well-mannered but dangerous. Along with Leto, Remarque leads the Dark Mirror Court in Ares' absence. Kallichore saw him again at the park.
Dark Mirror Princess Leto - Was once involved in the Blood Moon Court, and was corrupted to Ares' side. Kallichore came to find that Ares is missing, and now both Leto and Remarque lead the Court in her absence. Leto appeared during the ambush on an Order meeting, and again at the park to battle a strange creature that appeared there.

[Kallichore, the Moon] Once called home.
I will sing for you a Sunday song Of a prairie lost on open arms Consider now the charms that you hold Inside her belly gold So follow me where I go To the stuff of sleep and falling snow
Past life info forthcoming, as it is discovered/plotted through RP.
(as taken from Wikipedia)
"Kallichore (pronounced /kəˈlɪkɵriː/ kə-LIK-o-ree, or as in Greek Καλλιχόρη), also known as Jupiter XLIV, is a natural satellite of Jupiter. It was discovered by a team of astronomers from the University of Hawaii led by Scott S. Sheppard, et al. in 2003. It received the temporary designation S/2003 J 11.
Kallichore is about 2 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Jupiter at an average distance of 23,112 Mm in 717.806 days, at an inclination of 165° to the ecliptic (164° to Jupiter's equator), in a retrograde direction and with an eccentricity of 0.2042.
It was named in March 2005 after the nymph Kallichore.
Kallichore belongs to the Carme group, made up of irregular retrograde moons orbiting Jupiter at a distance ranging between 23 and 24 Gm and at an inclination of about 165°."
